Tottenham have suffered another row over concussion – with Danny Rose angered that the club’s medical staff barred him from playing against Newcastle last week.

Spurs were plunged into a major controversy when keeper Hugo Lloris was allowed to continue in the goalless draw at Everton in November, despite having been knocked out cold.

But after left-back Rose suffered a minor knock on the head in the north Londoners' home win over Everton two weeks ago, he was ordered to see medics who said he should not play in the 4-0 win at Newcastle three days later.

Rose, who completed the Everton game, was fuming at the decision to prevent him playing at St James’ Park, insisting he had suffered no ill effects.

Rose returned to action in the Europa League game away to FC Dnipro on Thursday.

However, it was felt that Tottenham had overcompensated after the Lloris incident, which sparked widespread criticism of then-manager Andre Villas-Boas – since sacked.
